Hi Ryan, thanks for filling out the issue.

Could you share the C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\VSFeedbackVSRTCLogs\201180312_195902_VS.log file with me for more insights? (olsolomk@microsoft.com)

Also, could you share the full VS version you are on now?

Thanks!

Hi Oleg,

I've passed the log file along as requested.

The VS version I was using at the time was 15.6.0 Enterprise. I will, however, be updating to 15.6.2 now that it’s out.

Thanks,
Ryan

I'm getting a very similar issue to this, just without the "Required property correlationId not found" error.

Live Share Output:

The trace log seems to identify the issue:

I can send the full log if required.

I've tried updating Visual Studio to 15.6.4, but I still get the same issue.

@legomushroom, here's another example of this issue with the latest VSIX. Did we get to the bottom of this one?

This issue was load balanced to @daytonellwanger.

I previously had an issue connecting through my corporate proxy. I went through some of the tips here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/liveshare/reference/connectivity#proxies

That got me further but now I have this showing up. I am in Visual Studio 2017:

Any thoughts?

@killnine Really glad the proxy issue helped you get farther.

@daytonellwanger - Any updates on this one?

[daytonellwanger]

The original issue ('Required property correlationId' not found - a problem with JSON deserialization) was resolved about a month ago. The two later issues look unrelated (they look like MEF problems. Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling the VSIX to force the cache to clear).

@TheFellow @killnine @BlakeWills Are you still experiencing this issue? We haven't heard any reports of this bug in a while, so I'm going to resolve it. However, it would be great to hear if you're still blocked after updating to the latest Live Share extension version. If so, please feel free to re-open this bug. Thanks again!
